The Galaxy A56 5G arrived in 2025, with a 6.7 inch Super AMOLED display. It charges over USB-C and it unlocks with an optical fingerprint reader under the display. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP67. A raised camera island on the back rather than three separate lenses, which is what separates the A56 from the A55 at a glance. SM-A566B is the model sold here.

What this fixes

The faults a charging port repair puts right.

  • Only charges held at an angleThe classic worn or dirty port. The pins are not making contact until you push the plug where it should not need to go.
  • Stops and starts while plugged inThe connection is intermittent. Often lint compacted at the bottom of the port holding the plug a millimetre short.
  • The cable feels looseA plug that no longer clicks in is telling you the port has worn or something is packed into it.
  • Charges but will not connect to a computer or CarPlayPower and data run on different pins, so a port can pass one and fail the other.
  • It charges wirelessly but not with a cableConfirms the port rather than the battery, which narrows the job considerably.
  • It stopped charging after a soakingDo not plug it in. Charging through a corroded port is what turns a repairable phone into a board job.
Before you spend anything

Is it definitely the charging port?

This is the repair most often quoted when it is not needed, so it is worth going through properly.

IfIt charges from the wall but not from a computer
Power and data are different pins. That narrows it to the port rather than the battery or the board, which is useful to know before we open anything.
IfThe phone is dead and does not respond to any charger
Start with a diagnostic. A dead phone is not the same problem as a bad port, and we would rather find out which before you pay.
IfTwo different cables both fail
Now it is the phone. One cable failing is a cable; two is a port.
IfIt charges fine but slowly
Try another plug first. Slow charging is very often the charger rather than the phone.
IfIt has never charged properly since a repair elsewhere
The port sits close to a lot of other flexes. Worth having it opened and checked rather than replaced blind.

If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.

What parts do we fit?

Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Samsung service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.

The words genuine and Samsung certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.

  • USB-C on every current Galaxy. The port is on its own daughterboard on most models, which makes it a cleaner replacement than a port soldered to the mainboard.

Genuine, OEM and aftermarket: what the words actually mean

What the €80 includes

  • The port inspected and cleaned before anything is replaced
  • A replacement charging assembly where cleaning is not enough
  • Charging and data transfer both tested
  • 360-day warranty on the part and the workmanship

No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.

If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.

Choose the part

Two tiers, named before you agree.

A charging port is a flex assembly rather than a tuned component, so the tier matters less here than almost anywhere else.

iMEND Premium

Original or manufacturer-grade part

The manufacturer's own flex. Worth it on a phone still under its own warranty or one you intend to keep for years.

Priced at the counter

Value Edition

Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard

Made to the original specification and, on a port, genuinely hard to fault. Fast charging negotiates the same, data works the same, and it costs less.

Priced at the counter

The €80 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.

This is one of the repairs where we will tell you to take the cheaper tier and put the difference towards a case. The part is not where a port repair goes wrong; the fitting is.

The parts we use, in full

How we do it

From the counter to back in your hand.

Tell us what it is doing

Two minutes online, or straight in the door at 4 Richmond Road. The more you can say about when it started, the faster we get to the cause.

Free diagnostic

Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.

You approve the price

The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.

The repair is carried out

It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.

Bench testing

We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.

Back in your hands

Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.

Before it goes back

What we test every time.

A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.

Charging from the wall

With the phone drawing real current, not just showing the lightning bolt.

Charge and data on the same port

Both, because a port can carry power and have lost its data pins.

Cable retention

A cable that will not stay in is not a repair we call finished.

Fast charge negotiation

Checked with a charger that supports it, because a port can charge slowly and look fine.

Will my data be safe?

This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.

We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.

Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.

Is it still water resistant afterwards?

Treat the phone as no longer water resistant after any repair, including ours.

Apple's IP68 rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed phone under controlled laboratory conditions. It is not a permanent property of the device. The seal degrades with age, heat and everyday knocks long before anybody opens it.

Opening a phone means cutting through that seal. We refit the display with fresh adhesive, which restores a physical seal and keeps ordinary splashes and rain out. What we will not do is tell you it is back to IP68, because we have no way to test that and neither does any independent shop in Ireland.

If your phone lives near water, say so when you book and we will talk you through what the adhesive does and does not cover.

The 360-day warranty

Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.

What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.

No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.

Three ways to get it to us

  • Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
  • We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
  • Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.

Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

Asked all the time

Galaxy A56 5G screen questions.

€80, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.

Usually same day. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.

Most of it is pocket lint. Emptying the port every few months with a toothpick keeps it from packing down, and a case with a covered port helps if you carry the phone loose.

Yes. Wireless charging does not use the port at all, which is also a useful way to keep a phone going until you can get the port sorted.

Carefully, with the phone off and a wooden toothpick. Never a pin or a paperclip, and never compressed air into the port. Bent pins turn a free clean into a paid replacement.

Almost always lint and sideways force. Charging with the phone in a pocket, or lying on a bed with the cable under tension, pushes against a connector that was designed to take the plug straight in and nothing else.

It will charge at the speed the phone was designed for, which is faster than a worn port manages. It will not make the phone charge faster than it did when it was new.

Excellent customer service bought my samsung A54 best price in dublin.

Mr MAURICE CaldwellTrustpilot

As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. I live in Drumcondra so being aware of their excellent reputation locally, I visited iMend last week. The manager and assistant could not have been more helpful. I bought the phone and it exceeds my expectations. On checking, the price was the lowest in Dublin. Anyone who needs a phone or a small electronic product will be well looked after by iMend. Great people to deal with!
